Hotties Alert! Alex Pettyfer To Strip Alongside Channing Tatum In 'Magic Mike'
читать дальшеTGIF, ladies—and here's some news that'll make your morning! Deadline reported late yesterday that Alex Pettyfer, also known 'round these parts as His Royal Harbodied Blondness, has been cast in the ingenue role in Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike"—a film based on the real-life experiences of Channing Tatum—in which he and Channing will both play male strippers.
MALE STRIPPERS.
MALE STRIPPERS WHO GET NAKED.
No, we are not making this up. And obviously, this can only mean one thing: Somewhere out there, a Hollywood producer has developed the ability to read our minds AND made it his business to personally fulfill all of our most desperate desires like some sort of modern-day, mildly perverted Fairy Godfather. (Speaking of which, we would also like a pony, a date with Hunter Parrish and a year's supply of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Thanks, dude!)
Alex will star as a young newcomer to the stripping business, with Channing playing his mentor in the title role of Magic Mike (a name we can't say out loud without guffawing, but who has time to complain about titles when there are hot unclothed men to ogle?). Based on Channing's brief stint as an exotic dancer at age 19, the movie depicts the friendship that develops between the two men... who ultimately cement their bestie bond in a 90-minute nude dancing montage with lots of incidental touching and multiple camera angles and close-ups of Alex Pettyfer's buttocks.
No, that's not actually in the sсript—but Hollywood Fairy Godfather, if you're listening, then that's what we want.
читать дальшеOlivia Munn recently promised us that we'd see a lot of man flesh in "Magic Mike." Flesh belonging to the likes of Alex Pettyfer, Channing Tatum, Matt Bomer and Matthew McConaughey, to name a few. So we weren't about to complain.
But we also didn't have any visual evidence. Until. Now. Some lucky paps caught the guys on set (where filming began this week) and managed to grab some shots that leave little to the imagination. Feast your eyes on a mostly shirtless Alex Pettyfer. Have we mentioned how excited we are for this flick?
And we're not the only ones! Director Steven Soderbergh couldn't contain his enthusiasm either, revealing that things are gonna get spicy in the film, which is based loosely on Channing's pre-Hollywood life as a stripper.
"You're dealing with a lot of people in a very strange business taking what they do very, very seriously, and these are guys in thongs and bow ties," he said. "I think it's going to be fun."
